Phrag Sgt. Eric

Yeah! My Phrag Sgt. Eric is starting to bloom also. I'm excited this is my first time seeing this plant bloom.

However, this plant was not regularly rotated and is leaning towards the window. It is assured that the spike will come into contact with the window. I've read that if you move an orchid while it is spiking, the inflorescence can become disfigured. Any ideas or reassurances?

I think if you reverse the direction of the light or change it dramatically the flower may be affected, but i think you can scoot it away from the window without any problems. You dont want the spike pressed against the window. Just keep it in similar light and oriented the same direction.
